RAIN CHANCES INCREASE TOMORROW. TROY, THIS MORNING, PARTS OF SANFORD ARE ON ALERT AS INVESTIGATORS WORK TO FIGURE OUT IF A SUSPECTED SERIAL ARSONIST HAS STRUCK AGAIN. NOW, INVESTIGATORS ARE HOPING THAT A NEW TASK FORCE WILL FINALLY HELP THEM CATCH WHOEVER IS DOING THIS. LOCAL 6 IS LIVE AT THE SCENE OF THE SCENE OF ONE OF THOSE TWO FIRES. THAT TASK FORCE IS MADE UP OF POLICE, A STATE FIRE MARSHAL AND OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. IT WAS FORMED BEFORE FIRE GUTTED THIS HOME OVER THE WEEKEND. RIGHT NOW, THE TASK FORCE IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ALL OF THOSE FIRES HAVE IN COMMON. I SAW THE GLOW. IT WAS ORANGE. IT WAS ENGULFED TO SIX OR SEVEN FEET HIGH. NEIGHBORS WOKE UP TO FLAMES AND SMOKE SHOOT ING FROMTWO ABANDONED HOUSES. THE FIGHT IS BECOMING TOO COMMON FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE ALONG PALMETTO AVENUE. ANGELICA IS ONE OF SEVERAL WORRIED THE FIRES ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL. SHE SAYS SHE HEARD RUSTLING BEFORE THE LATEST FIRE SPARKED. WHEN I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW, I DIDN'T SEE NOTHING. I HEARD IT AGAIN, LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AGAIN AND SAW FLAMES. MANY ARE WORRIED THIS MAY BE THE WORK OF A SERIAL ARSONIST. EIGHT FIRES HAVE BEEN SET. SIX NEAR PALMETTO AV AVENUE. THEY ARE WORRIED ONE DAY FLAMES WILL SPREAD TO A HOUSE. JUST GLAD NOBODY GOT HURT. YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE FIREFIGHTERS TOO. INVESTIGATORS SAY THAT THE BIGGEST HELP THEY CAN GET IS FROM INFORMED NEIGHBORS, THEY ARE URGING ANYONE TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ANYONE SUSPICIOUS. THEY COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REWARD. WHAT ARE INVESTIGATORS SAYING ABOUT THESE TWO NEW FIRES BEING CONNECTED TO THE PREVIOUS CASES. THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL HASN'T OFFICIAL SAY SAID THESE FIRES WERE LINKED TO THE SIX OTHERS. WE'LL BE ASKING THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL THAT LATER THIS MORNING
